The limitation of actions is matter of local regulations in the different Provinces, as it is in the different States of the United States, but the periods given in the table are understood to be uniform throughout the Dominion.

NOTE.-A statute of limitation begins to run from the time at which a creditor is authorized first to commence suit. Upon mutual, concurrent, and open accounts the statute, in general, begins to run with the date of the last item. A debt, otherwise barred, may generally be revived by a new promise made within the period of limitation. The new promise may be either expressed, or implied from a part payment, or any unqualified acknowledgment from which a promise may be inferred.

*In the States thus marked, it is provided by statute that a cause of action shall be barred, which first accrued in another State and is barred by the statute limitations of that State. This is contrary to the general rule, by which a debtor must have resided in the State during the statute period, before he can take advantage of it.
